Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

"At 1:10 this morning, Ni Kun called me and wanted to use this favor to exchange for Au Sun Kee's territory in Wan Chai. I thought I had no reason to refuse!"

"A debt of favor is sometimes harder to repay than money. If I don't take this opportunity to redeem this favor, what if they ask me to sell out the interests of the society in the future? What will I do?"

"Are you going to give away your construction company, Big D? Or are you going to give away the smuggling channels for fruits and vegetables with the Fish Head logo? Or are you going to give away Shanghai Zai's trendy brand business?"

Whether it was Big D, Fish Head Brand, or Shanghai Boy, when asked about it, they all shook their heads and said that they should not give away the benefits in their hands.

The purpose of joining a gang is to make money, so there is no reason to give the money you earn to others.

Receiving the expected reaction, Liu Xu's mouth curled up into a satisfied smile:

"So, I chose to repay this favor with San Kee Wan Chai. This was not only out of consideration for myself, but also for our community."

Liu Xu slowly stood up and scanned everyone present with a sharp gaze:

"Furthermore, I didn't use any of the society's resources in the battle with the Xinji Headquarters. It's no exaggeration to say that it was my personal transaction with the Ni family."

"Are you satisfied with my explanation?"

Under Liu Xu's gaze, everyone in the conference room nodded, expressing their satisfaction with the explanation given by Liu Xu.

"Very good. Look, Brother Ji, everyone is satisfied with the explanation I gave."

Liu Xu sat back in his seat and changed the subject: "Next, let's talk about the issue of filling the position of hall master."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the conference room became solemn again.

"As our strength and Lian Sheng's continues to climb among the various societies on Hong Kong Island, we are already on track to surpass Xin Ji, so I plan to select three more leaders."

"Oh... that's not right," Liu Xu slapped his forehead suddenly. "It should be the election of four hall masters. Brother Ji has stepped down, so naturally we have to find someone to fill the position."

"And Brother Ji has lost all his territory in Wan Chai, and has completely lost his right to designate."

"Therefore, the selection of the four hall masters this time will be decided entirely by a vote of the hall masters present in the main hall and me, the chair."

"I said at the last meeting that the priority should be the size of the territory and the amount of benefits. Now, please, hall masters and uncles, please nominate the candidates you like!"

As Liu Xu finished speaking, everyone present picked up the paper and pen at hand, wrote down the candidates in their minds, and handed them to Li Hangluo.

Liu Xu took the list handed over by Li Hangluo and carefully examined the candidates recommended by each hall master and uncles, chuckling from time to time.

"Heh~, Uncle Longgen, Old Leng, Uncle Quan, Uncle Xing, I haven't even heard of the names of the people you recommended. Please don't fill in the gaps next time."

There was a hint of impoliteness in Liu Xu's words, but the atmosphere in the meeting room did not become awkward or tense.

On the contrary, everyone seemed to have gotten used to Liu Xu's straightforwardness. After a slight pause, they continued to keep their heads down and remain silent. Some looked embarrassed, while others seemed to be thinking about something.

"However," Liu Xu changed the subject, his tone becoming more relaxed, "There are so many talented people in the club, it's impossible for everyone to be well-known, and I understand that."

"But we need to elect those who have territory, ability, and prestige, so that they can lead their respective halls forward and not hold back those present here."

Liu Xu tapped the list in his hand and continued, "So, people like Yuan recommended by Uncle Chuanbao and Xie Caibao recommended by Brother Ji can be directly passed."

"Without territory, without manpower, and without prestige, I need to settle down and build up my foundation."

As he spoke, Liu Xu continued to look down, "Big D, poor dog, are you two planning to give up your territory to create conditions for me to take over?"

"Have you given Fei Mao territory?" Liu Xu looked at Da D.

Although it was just a simple greeting, Big D felt as if a mountain had suddenly pressed down on him, making him a little breathless, and he quickly shook his head.

"Are you planning to give up the position of leader of Chai Wan Hall to Shark?" Liu Xu looked at the defeated dog.

Seeing the poor dog quickly shaking his head in denial, Liu Xu stopped questioning, looked around at the uncles and hall masters present, and announced in a slow tone:

"Chen Dao recommended Huo Niu from Tai Kok Tsui. He successfully took over half of the territory in Tai Kok Tsui and meets the requirements for running for the position of leader of us and Lian Sheng Hall."

"Ah Quan recommended Fei Mao from Kwun Tong. He successfully took over the territory in southeast Kwun Tong and meets the requirements for running for the position of leader of us and Lian Sheng."

"Shanghai Boy recommends Four Eyes Ming from Causeway Bay. He has taken over five streets from Big Boss B, so he meets the requirements to run for the position of leader of us and Lian Sheng Hall."

"Lao Guiqiang recommends Wang Ergou from Tsim Sha Tsui. He successfully drove Axe Jun and Gao Tengfei from Xin Ji out of Tsim Sha Tsui last night. He meets the requirements to run for the position of leader of us and Lian Sheng."

"Yutou Biao recommended his Toastmasters aircraft. He took advantage of the East Asian Tigers' attack on Kowloon Slim Eye last night and seized three streets from the East Asian Tigers, which meets the requirements for the election."

"Ourakuro recommends Changfa from the New Territories. Although the New Territories is in the countryside, Changfa's strength is not much weaker than Dafei. They occupy the territory of two villages in the New Territories and also meet the requirements."

As the list of names was announced, both the uncles and some of the hall masters couldn't help but focus their attention on Lao Guigang.

There are six names, and four of them are selected. Huo Niu was recommended by Daozi, and Wang Ergou and Fei Mao are both Liu Xu's people. The trick is obvious at a glance.

But there is nothing wrong with it. Tsim Sha Tsui is indeed taken over by Wang Ergou's people now, and Lao Guigang, as the leader of the hall, also has the right to nominate.

The atmosphere in the conference hall was subtle and tense. Everyone had their own thoughts, but they all tacitly agreed not to express too much emotion.

Liu Xu had anticipated this reaction, and a meaningful smile played on his lips. Hong Kong Island is so small, if you take too much, others will naturally have nothing to take.

"These six are the only ones eligible to run for and win consecutively as Hall Masters. Now, please cast your votes for the candidate you approve of. I will do the final tally."

As Liu Xu finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room instantly became tense and serious. After looking at each other, they wrote down the candidates in their minds.

Even the uncles who were veterans in the world of martial arts couldn't help but slow down their breathing at this moment. They selected four hall masters at once. This was the first time in the history of He Liansheng.

It not only represents personal choice, but also concerns the future of the entire team and the winning streak.

Once Wang Ergou, Fei Mao and Huoniu successfully take the position, it means that Liu Xu will control 80% of the power of He Liansheng, and He Liansheng will become Liu Xu's one-man show.

When the last hall master slowly put the note in his hand into the ballot box, the entire meeting room seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Now, let's announce the results of this vote." Liu Xu's words were steady and powerful, and he motioned Li Hangluo to come forward and do the counting.

As the votes were gradually revealed, the atmosphere in the conference room became tense and delicate again.

Everyone's heartbeat seemed to quicken as the number of votes rose, anticipating the final answer.

"Fire Bull, one vote; Four Eyes, two votes; Airplane, one vote; Long Hair, two votes; Flying Hair, two votes; Wang Ergou, one vote;"

Li Hangluo's voice kept echoing in the conference room, and every number touched the nerves of everyone present.

"The highest number of votes was two, from Four Eyes Ming in Causeway Bay, Long Hair in the New Territories, and Flying Hair in Kwun Tong. The remaining votes were one each for Airplane, Fire Bull, and Wang Ergou."
